Here I will list new features I plan to integrate into future versions of AS. This is just rough planning, i.e. I won't give you any dates by which they will be done, nor do I promise that I will ever do it. However, since they mostly went in due to outer requests, there is a good chance that they will come sooner (or later)...

If you made a proposal for an extension and don't find it on this page, this neither means that I won't do this, nor should you take this as an offense. After all, I'm also only human and forget things...

An asterik means that those things are done and will appear in the next beta version or are already present in the current beta.

New CPUs

• Analog Devices ADSP21xx
• SGS-Thomson ST20
• Texas Instruments TMS320C4x
• Texas Instruments TMS320C8x
• Toshiba TC9331

• Named segments, i.e. multiple program counters and instructions to switch among them. Currently, there is only one program counter per physical segment, and one has to use macro contructs to get virtual PC's
• Register symbols for more targets. Currently, most targets do not have register symbols because register names are literally queried at a lot of places in the individual code generators.
• AS currently is a bit picky about ' and " characters in string literals; that's due to a problem in the parser. I think that I have a solution for some situations but I wasn't sure if it doesn't have any side effects. So I postponed it into the next set of betas...
• Especially for the SYM53C8xx target, a tool P2H would be nice that translates a .p file from AS into a C-style header file with the code defined as integer arrays. But for some signal processor applications, this would be a nice goodie either.
• External symbols/Linking. Yes, you are reading correctly, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel! A few things have been done already, but don't hold your breath for it!
